Australia Indigenous Elder 1988 $2 Silver Proof Coin
A must-have for every collection, we are delighted to present the Indigenous Elder 1988 $2 Silver Proof Coin!
Driven from use by inflation, and by the obvious contrast in cost efficiency when compared with a more durable $2 coin, Australia’s $2 banknote was consigned to the pages of history in the 1980s. To celebrate this major milestone in the nation’s currency history, the first $2 was not only struck for circulation in aluminium-bronze – it was struck as a special commemorative issue in silver!
Created by Royal Australian Mint designer Horst Hahne, the first $2 was Australia’s third currency issue to recognise Australia’s indigenous heritage. Depicting an aboriginal elder beneath the Southern Cross, this groundbreaking type was struck by the Royal Australian Mint in 1988 – the year that marked the 200th anniversary of European settlement of Australia.
A highly sought after date in Australia’s decimal series, there’s no doubt that the nation’s first $2 issue is especially desirable when struck to immaculate Proof quality from sterling silver. A sparkling addition to any collection, secure your coin now! Click add to cart!
